Chris Wood is an uncompromising writer whose music reveals his love for the un-official history of the English speaking people. Always direct and unafraid to speak his mind, his song writing has been praised for its surgical clarity.

Hollow Point, his chilling ballad of the shooting of Jean Charles Menezez, won a BBC Folk Award (he's won six in total) and emphatically secured Wood's place as a serious speech-master for the unofficial history of England.
